Would love to see actions taken to help the Cambridge residents, especially the elderly and people with special needs before something bad happens.

This issue was recategorized from Sidewalk Defect to Brick Trip Hazards (Internal).

Thank you! Do you have any estimates on the timeline? I saw another legally blind elder walking by over the weekend and almost fell on his knees.

Just wondering if there’s any updates on this public safety road hazard issue?

@Public Works --- any updates on this?

DPW's expectation is to schedule this location before the years end.

As you can imagine, the City has more need for infrastructure improvements than available resources. The City has a Five Year Street and Sidewalk Plan to prioritize improvements, available at www.cambridgema.gov/theworks/fiveyearplan to ensure that projects are coordinated and the highest priority locations are addressed. The plan is updated annually and is based on the City’s utility projects, pavement management system, sidewalk condition assessment, coordination with utility companies, priorities from the Disabilities Commission, Bicycle Committee and Pedestrian Committee, and requests from residents to prioritize locations. We update the 5 Year Plan annually to make sure we are accurately prioritizing streets for inclusion. While the City cannot guarantee that the reconstruction of this specific area will be able to be funded, we will evaluate it closely and consider your concerns as part of that process. Please feel free to contact Kristen Kelleher, Community Relations Manager, at kkelleher@cambridgema.gov if you have questions or would like more information on the Five Year Plan.
